This looks pretty good for a new switchdev driver, is there a reason you can't
target drivers/net/ethernet instead of staging? Is it because the MC bus code is
still in staging (AFAICT)?

Yes, driver depends on MC bus, which is still in staging.  Also, control traffic
code will require access to DPIO functions, that are also in staging.

Best regards,
